[Prudy Keeping House by Sophie May]@TWC D-Link bookPrudy Keeping House CHAPTER XII 14/33
In the cars where she saw so many people that she thought there'd be nobody left in any of the houses, she offers to hold somebody's baby, and when it begins to cry she stuffs pop-corn into its month, nearly choking it to death.
Afterwards, in pulling a man's hair, she is horrified at seeing his wig come off, and gasps out 'O dear, dear, dear, I didn't know your hair was so tender.' Altogether, she is the cunningist chick that ever lived."-- _Oxford Press_. * * * * * DOTTY DIMPLE AT HOME. "This little book is as full of spice as any of its predecessors and well sustains the author's reputation as the very cleverest of all write of this species of children's books.
Were there any doubt on this point, the matter might be easily tested by inquiry in half the households in the city, where the book is being revelled over."-- _Boston Home Journal_. SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS. [Illustration: "As Dotty seized two locks of the Major's hair, one in each hand, and pulled them both as if she meant to draw them out by the roots, out they came! Yes, entirely out; and more than that, all the rest of his hair came too.
His head was left as smooth as an apple.
You see how it was.
